Limit Create Access on Objects

We need to be able to limit create access on some of our custom objects. They are built for reporting and when our users create new or duplicate objects it throws off our reporting.

Hi @Gabry 

I thought creation of custom objects was limited to super admins?

Has that changed? Are you referring to custom objects or custom properties?

@franksteiner79 Any of my users can create a new custom object. They can either create in in the "Views" or when they add an association.

I haven't found a way to restrict this.

Got you @Gabry 

 

At the moment this is "lumped into" the "edit" permissions of CRM objects.

I tested this in my account. If I removed edit rights, the user can't create a new record in the custom object.

It also means they can't edit any of the custom object properties but can still log calls, notes and meetings, etc.

So depending how this object is used in your company that may or may not solve your problem.

 

But I generally agree that when it comes to CRM objects, full CRUD (create, read, update, delete) permissions would be useful.

100% agreed - very importtant to be able to limit Create access of Custome Objects, but still be able to have Users edit certain fields. This is imperative for the way we use Custom Objects
